It was the first time for Tora to meet their new band mates Shou has told him about. After Givuss decided to stop activities, the raven-haired guitarist was called up by Shou, telling him that a certain Nao called him up to invite him to start a new band. Tora, being a passionate musician that he was, he said yes immediately.

"Where are they?" Tora asks Shou impatiently who was enjoying his soymilk outside the convenience store just a street across from the live house.

"They'll be here. The show starts in an hour so dont worry, we'll have time before we can check out our potential guitarist."

"Havent even met the potential 'rest of the band.'" Tora lights up a cigarette and leans against the lamp post, a bit pissed. He hates waiting.

"Dont be grumpy. They'll be here soon."

"Shou?"

Shou turns around and Tora's eyes follow, he sees a pretty and slender person panting next to the vocalist, the said person looked so tired as he pants and catches his breath.

"Yes, that will be me... You are?"

"Great... I'm Saga. Nao called me to meet you ahead of him. He's stuck in traffic..." Saga smiles, Tora felt his blood rush to his head when he saw it.

"Oh. No worries. Hey, Tora, come here." Tora walks beside Shou, Saga was already smiling when the black haired man stood across him. "Saga, this is Tora. He'll be our guitarist too."

"Ah, yeah... I heard from Nao. I'm Saga, nice to meet you." Saga bows his head, so did Tora.

Saga stretches his arms above his head, a bit of his stomach shows when his shirt got pulled up, Tora couldnt help but stare.

How can another man's body be as slender as his? And that face! A woman should have that face, not a man like him! Ugh. Stop thinking of whatever things, Tora!

"Ah. He's here." Saga pulls his body back and turns to the direction from where he saw Nao arriving.

"Sorry Im late. It's unusual for me to be, i'm really sorry!" Nao kept bowing his head that Saga had to stop him before blood starts rushing over his head.

"It's ok, Nao. We werent waiting long." Shou answers him smiling, nudging Tora's shoulder so that the taller man would take the grump off his face.

"I see you've met Saga, I'm Nao. Yoroshiku."

"We've met before but this is Tora, He's an amazing guitarist." Shou introduces Tora who gave a small smile, getting a bit embarrassed on how Shou exaggerated on his skills.

"Well, shall we go?" Nao asks, leading the way inside the livehouse.

-----

Ramen house, around 11 in the evening.

"Well... I don’t mind joining because, tonight's actually our last live with my band, and I really want to continue making music..." Hiroto, the guitarist they all came to see, said as they all wait for their orders to arrive.

"The four of us are free for any music sessions anytime, are you?" Nao asks him seriously, eager to hear a 'yes' so they can start a new band immediately.

"Yeah... I can work it out."

Tora looks away from the conversation, he diverts his eyes to the person sitting across him, this brunette with brown eyes, who looks too pretty to be passed up as a guy, is evoking such an unidentified aura, or scent or whatever that Tora cant fathom, but seems to be really attracted to.

No. He's a man. He just might have a bigger dick than yours. Stop looking at him.

"GAH!" Tora shakes his head after shocking everyone, unaware that he gave almost a roar just from trying to get his gaze away from Saga and removing any thoughts he's having about him.

"Tora, are you okay?" Saga asks after everybody recovers from the slight shock Tora gave.

"Ahhh... ye-yes. Sorry. I'm fine. Please get back to whatever you're all talking about."

"Ok..." Nao quips, shrugging his shoulders and he and the others get back to their conversation.

-----

"Where could Saga be?!" Nao exclaims, checking his watch for probably the seventh time in an hour as he and the rest of their new band wait by his living room.

"Will he be ok? It's raining..." Shou asks worriedly, looking outside and seeing that dark clouds have enveloped the city and there are huge raindrops falling.

Shit. Will he be ok? What if he's soaked up so bad? He'll get sick! Then again... he'd look so sexy like that... WHAT THE FUCK TORA?! Tits. You want tits not dicks.

"Er... I'm gonna step out for a smoke.." He excused himself seeing that he's the only smoker in the room and that he also needs to clear his head so bad.

"Gah!" Tora was surprised that when he opened the door, there Saga was, about to knock on the door, soaking wet, his white shirt almost see through against his skin, his wet hair falling on his face, it's not helping that Saga was panting so hard, he's almost moaning that Tora couldn’t help but look back and forth from head to toe.

Shit. He's so fucking sexy...

"Well, Tora... are you letting me in?"

"Oh, shoot. Come in... What am I even... just..." Tora stutters and he scrambles himself out of the way, letting Saga in and getting out of the house as quickly as possible.

Tora leans against the wall, lighting up a cigarette. He inhales the nicotine filled smoke deeply and exhales it after savoring its flavor. He reached for his chest, he can hear his heart beating so much, it must be louder than the rain.

He's sexier than I imagined.... wait. I'm imagining him?! Since when?! But damn... he's just so beautiful...

"Mind if I join you?"

"Huh?" Tora turns to see Saga walking out the door, with a white towel on his head, naked with only his wet jeans on, barefoot and with a stick of cigarette between his fingers. Tora felt himself blush that he turned his gaze away immediately.

"I noticed nobody else smokes here but us... so...?"

"Yes, sure. I don’t mind."

"Do you have a lighter? I forgot to put it inside my cigarette case and now it's all wet..."

"Ah, yeah..." He gives Saga his lighter, his hand brushing against the bassist's, it felt cold but Tora's face felt hot again.

Why is his hand so damn soft? Does he really play the bass?

"Thanks." Saga smiles, giving back the lighter to Tora who made sure to get it without any hand contact with the brunette.

Gah. Never smile at me. You look so cute... Wait, what?! Cute?! Well... yeah...

"You ok there?"

"Yes."

"Are you... uncomfortable around me? I mean, we've only known each other a short time but Tora I can tell you, I’m nice, so don’t worry. I don’t bite."

"I’m sure you don’t. And no, im not uncomfortable around you... I’m just thinking a lot."

A lot of you actually. Damn, what did you do to me?

"Ahhh... well, if you feel like sharing, I'm all ears."

"Hey, you two! We're starting!" Nao peeks out from the door calling out to Tora and Saga and just as quickly returns back inside.

-----

"Are you excited, Tora-san?" Hiroto asks while they prepare themselves for their first live after forming the band.

"I am! It's been awhile."

"I wonder how everyone looks in their costumes..."

"Ah! I'm freezing! Why does it have to be this cold?!" Hiroto and Tora can hear Saga screaming on the corridors outside the dressing room. Tora felt funny inside when Saga came rushing inside through the door and settling on the couch. "Damn... It's fucking freezing..."

Saga was wearing a leather top that covers his chest, his flat stomach is revealed, his arms are bare and his thighs are showing. Save from the sleeveless outer wear and leg warmers, Saga would look like he's wearing some sort of kinky underwear.

"Here. You can wear this..." Tora tells him, taking off his red jacket and handing it to Saga, who gives him a smile and graciously puts it on.

"Thanks Tora, this will help. But aren't you gonna be cold?"

"Ah.. I'll be fine. I'm wearing a long sleeved polo anyway..."

"HEY! I'm cold too! Why didn’t you lend me your jacket?" Hiroto butts in, referring to Tora who just gave a shrug.

"You didn’t say you were cold. I would've lent it you first."

"Humph. You just have a crush on Saga - san."

"I DO NOT!" Tora exclaims loudly, running out of the room, leaving the young guitarist and the bassist stunned and shocking Nao and Shou who were just arriving.

"Is Tora in a bad mood?" Nao asks, who at this time, has taken the leader position for them.

"I dunno. I just told him he's got a crush on Saga - san and then he ran out." Hiroto explained while Saga kept giggling due to the sudden turn of events.

"Well, does he?" Nao continued asking, looking seriously curious.

"I doubt. Tora's straight as far as I know." Shou tells them, "But who knows? Maybe he's got a change of preference." he adds, smirking.

"Uh - oh..." Saga silently quips, staring by the doorway.

"Stop saying that, Shou! You... You traitor!" Tora shouts again, making Shou and the others laugh so much, tears almost came out of their eyes.

Saga stands up from the couch and walks towards Tora, removing the jacket the older guitarist lent him, "Here Tora. Thanks, you should put this on now, we'll be starting soon." Saga smiles handing the jacket to him.

"Sure... anytime." Tora answers, calming down from the slight outrage he was on a second ago.

"See?! It's obvious!" Hiroto exclaims making Nao and Shou burst out in laughter again.

"STOP IT HIROTO!"

"Calm down Tora, they're just teasing you." Saga taps Tora's shoulder and he walks out of the room to head to the stage.

Is it really a crush, whatever is this i'm feeling? Am I that obvious? When and how can this stop...?

-----

"..Ohayo." Saga greets Tora who was practicing alone inside the studio, Tora just gave Saga a quick glance and a nod then returns to playing his guitar. For the weeks that passed after Hiroto teased them, Tora's been awkward with the bassist, adding that Nao and Shou kept bugging him about it too. Too awkward that Tora wants to apologize to Saga about it.

"I.. I brought some donuts, you might be hungry."

"I'm not, but thanks Saga."

"Ok..."

Saga walks to the coffee table near the couch, putting the box of donuts down, struggling to keep his balance since he was carrying his bass guitar on his shoulder and a cup of coffee in one hand.

"AH FUCK! GEEZ!"

Tora looks up from where he is and sees Saga who was standing a few feet from him frantically removing his jacket and then his shirt, Tora felt his face burn seeing their bassist's naked flesh again. Tora wakes up from the trance and puts his guitar down when he realized that Saga's coffee has spilled on him.

"You're so clumsy." Tora immediately wipes Saga's body with his handkerchief. "Did you burn yourself?"

"I dunno... It happened so fast."

"Come here." Tora takes Saga's hand and drags him inside the small bathroom inside the studio, the black haired man starts washing Saga's bare torso with cold water to let the heat subside.

Fuck. His skin is so fair... It will be such a disaster if he gets scarred.

"You know, Tora... I can do this on my own..."

"Right." Tora stands up, his eyes meeting Saga's. He has never stood beside Saga this close, nor was he ever stuck in a small cramped up room with him before either. He realized that though he seems taller than the brunette, their eyes meet almost on the same level when they are this close. And Saga has such beautiful pair of eyes that Tora finds it hard to pry his gaze off him.

"...You have nice eyes Tora..."

"I hated them when I was growing up. It showed that I am a gaijin..." Tora averts his eyes and took a small step back.

"Look at me."

Tora was a bit hesitant to look at Saga but he still did so like he was commanded by him.

Why the fuck is he this beautiful? Why does my heart beat so fast when he's near me? I shouldn’t be feeling like this towards a MAN.

"Stop thinking too much Tora. You see... when you do so... your eye brows twitch just like now, then you'd shake your head and then pull your hair then growl..."

"What? I do that? How do you know?!"

Saga smiles, "You see... when you do those things... I always catch you looking at me and it gets me to wonder... Are you... thinking of me?"

"WHAT?! N - no! Of course not. Come on! I'm straight! Why would I think of you!?"

Saga shrugs his shoulders, still looking at Tora, "Then kiss me."

"WHAT!? Hell no!"

Saga leans his bare back on the wall, not removing his gaze on Tora's eyes, he crosses his arms and tells him in a matter - of - factly manner, "You see... there are only two things that can come out of it. One, you'll hate it. If you do hate it then you can stop thinking about whatever's confusing you that obviously involves me, because you'll feel icky about this experience and maybe hate me but rest assured I will act like nothing's happened. Two, you'll like it and if you end up liking it, well, maybe you're not gay, but you're not straight when it comes to me. So, kiss me?"

Tora looks at Saga, it's true that he can no longer deny that his thoughts have been occasionally occupied by Saga and though he was hesitant to do this, he'd just have to conquer it, it will be done in under three seconds anyway.

"I’m not gonna enjoy this."

"We'll see." Saga giggles, Tora takes another step back, getting hesitant again. "Come on, I’m just teasing you!"

"Fine..." Tora walks towards Saga, cupping the bassist's face on his hands, who closed his eyes, Tora kept his opened. He can now feel Saga's breathing against his cheeks, it's warm, he moved his feet a little backward, he wanted to make that there'll be no body contact at all and that their lips will have to be the only ones touching.

"Tss.. How long will this take? My neck hurts already!" Saga complains both his eyes still closed.

"I'm doing it!"

Tora brushes Saga's hair off his face, his hand traces the side of Saga's cheek, it felt silky to the touch.

This is it...

Tora carefully pulls Saga's face towards him, he wants the kiss to end as fast as possible, so he planted a quick kiss on Saga's lips but it was more than he bargained for.

At first it was just like two naive kids trying their first kiss together, stiff. Tora was about to pull away when Saga's lips moved, as if pouting against his lips, the bassist started nibbling Tora's lower lip, surprising him, but cannot deny the fact that he likes the feeling of Saga's lips against him, and as if losing control of his body, Tora pulls Saga to him, locking the bassist's naked torso in his arm then pinning Saga against the wall.

At that moment, their tongues have met, Saga's tracing the insides of Tora's mouth, then pulls back, gives Tora's upper lip a teasing lick and grins, "Well?" he asks Tora seductively.

"...Fuck it..." Tora whispers under his breath, panting, a little out of breath from the short make out he and Saga shared, he averts his eyes away from Saga, but still pinning the bassist against the wall.

I cant! No! But fuck. Kissing him felt so better, much much better than kissing all the girls ive kissed before.

"You don’t have to answer though.. you liked it."

"BUT IM STRAI---!"

"Fine! You're straight! Relax. Look, I really like you and I love how you look at me with those confused eyes. But, really, if you cant admit it to yourself, then it's best we forget this happened. I’m sorry for messing up your head and maybe your preference. Call me an opportunist or whatever but I liked kissing you and i’m glad we shared that. Now if you'll excuse me, it's a bit hot in here." Saga removes Tora's hand on his waist and turns to leave when Tora immediately pins him against the wall once more.

"Wait."

"What now...?"

"...This will be all new to me... I guess, I like you too. Alot than what I wanted myself to like you. You've been in my head the moment I laid eyes on you, and I swear I tried so hard to take you out of it but the thoughts of you just wont leave me..." Tora confessed, looking straight into Saga's eyes who kept listening eagerly.

"T - there may be times I’d get awkward when we're out together in public... But... W - will you go out with me, Saga?"

"I can be a selfish boyfriend Tora. I can understand you getting awkward, I’d help you conquer that... but I can be a bigger bitch than any girl you've been with so far, if I catch you looking to other girls, there will be hell, you see... I'm not even worried with you looking at other guys..."

Tora laughs, "I can be selfish too. You're mine. And mine alone."

"Yes dear. Now come here." Saga pulls on Tora's shirt, kissing him again, this time more intense, hungrier for each other, their hands now tracing each others' bodies, Tora can feel his body heat up especially since Saga's hands had found their way inside his shirt, hitting some of his sensitive spots, when suddenly the door sprang open, causing Tora to pull away from Saga immediately.

"OH SHIT! THEY'RE MAKING OUT!" Nao screams after seeing the compromising position Saga and Tora were in, followed by Shou and Hiroto's heads peeking inside, grinning widely, as if taunting Tora specifically.

"So there you two are! Me and Pon are actually wondering where you two went seeing that both your stuffs are still here." Shou tells them, still grinning. "What an unconventional place to be caught together, ne? Did we disturb you, Tora - san?" Hiroto adds then bursts out laughing with Shou.

"Lay off me and my straight boyfriend!" Saga screams at them, making the two laugh harder.

"Look, I want to laugh with you but I cant. I need to pee. Please do this somewhere else!" Nao butts in, almost pushing the new couple out of the bathroom.
